What we treat?

• Arrhythmia

  The term "arrhythmia" refers to any change from the normal sequence of electrical impulses. According to the heart rate, Arrhythmia can be categorised into tachycardia and bradycardia. Tachycardia refers to a fast heart rate while bradycardia refers to a slow heart rate.  Some arrhythmias are brief and doesn’t affect the overall heart rate or rhythm. Arrhythmias can be treated by an electric shock using a defibrillator, or medical devices such as pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

• Cardiomegaly

  An enlarged heart refers to as Cardiomegaly. Many times this condition results from high blood pressure (hypertension), heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, haemochromatosis or any other congenital heart disease.

  • Dilated cardiomyopathy - the walls of the left and/or right ventricles of the heart become thin and stretched
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - is typically an inherited condition, where a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle) is hypertrophic(enlarged) without any obvious cause, creating functional impairment of the heart

  The symptoms may include shortness of breath, abnormal heart rhythm and swelling. Treatment of Cardiomegaly aims at treating the underlying conditions behind the disease and includes medications like diuretics, beta blockers, anti-coagulants and other medical procedures and surgeries.

• Long QT Syndrome

  Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a heart rhythm condition characterised by a prolongation of the QT interval on electrocardiograms and propensity to ventricular tachyarrhythmias which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest or sudden death. The treatment for LQTS can include medications, medical devices, and surgery or lifestyle changes.

• Hypertension

  Hypertension is often used in exchange of high blood pressure. The number of people living with hypertension is predicted to be 1.56 billion worldwide by the year 2025. Having a blood pressure higher than 140 over 90mmHg is the threshold defined for high blood pressure or hypertension. Obesity, Greater intake of dietary salt, Diabetes, Kidney disease, Hyperthyroidism, and Hyperparathyroidism are some of the risk factors. Changing your lifestyle can make a huge impact in controlling hypertension. In addition to lifestyle changes, the doctor may recommend medications such as thiazide diuretics, beta blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, renin inhibitors and calcium channel blockers.

• Heart Failure

  Heart failure is a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s need for blood and oxygen. As a result of this, the body tries to compensate by enlarging, developing more muscle mass, and pumping faster. These temporary measures mask the problem of heart failure and some people don’t get aware of their condition. Heart failure can be of 3 types i.e. Left- sided heart failure, right-sided heart failure and congestive heart failure. The treatment plan may include lifestyle changes, medications, medical devices and surgical procedures.
